.
During the Vietnam War, what were the Vietnamese soldiers called who fought the Americans in the south for the north?

Answer 1

During the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese soldiers who fought against American forces and supported the communist cause in the south were primarily known as the **Viet Cong**. They were part of the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam and engaged in guerrilla warfare against the South Vietnamese government and its allies, including the United States. Additionally, North Vietnamese Army soldiers (NVA) also fought in the south, but the term "Viet Cong" specifically refers to the local insurgents in South Vietnam.
